In it, he takes a long, hard look at the BP oil spill, using it as a springboard for a condemnation of the cozy relationship between corporations and Louisiana politicians -- and for a sweeping critique of the state of American capitalism. Tickell definitely has an agenda here, but that doesn't make his film any less enraging or engaging.
